• Co-op Funding Success!

  Mon 25 Nov 2019

  Mrs Estell received a cheque for some for the sum of £6747.91 from the Co-op Mapperley on Saturday morning. This was from a bid we had made the previous year to improve the school grounds with funds raised from donations made when customers make purchases with a membership card in store.  Some of this has already been spent on our pond area, with the orchard area next on the list to improve. The children have repeatedly requested for extra monkey bars on the playground so we hope to now be able to fulfil their wish! Thank you so much if you supported us and thank you also to the Co-op as this fund will make a real difference to our children.

   

  It's also not too late to support us for this year's bid! All you need to do, if you are a Co-op membership card holder, is simply select us as your preferred charity. Every time you spend in store 1% of your purchase will come to school.

   

  Thank you for your continued support!

• Anti Bullying Week 2019/Odd Socks Day 2019

  Tue 12 Nov 2019

  The theme for this year is 'Change Starts with Us'. We held an assembly all about how to recognise bullying and what to when we spotted it.

  We all wore odd socks today to show how great it is to be different! We love celebrating difference at Westdale! We looked at what makes us special, our differences and what the world would be like if we were all the same.

  

• Y2 Titanic Day

  Tue 12 Nov 2019
  Year 2 all boarded the Titanic today ready for their adventure! Some children were lucky enough to be in first class, some were not and the Y2s discussed the fairness of this. A great day with some really memorable learning!
